In a letter sent to U.S. Government workers affected by the shutdown on October 1, President Obama told federal employees he will continue to work with Congress in order to get them back to work, thanked them for their service and blamed House Republicans for the government shutdown.
"To the dedicated and hard-working employees of the United States Government: The Federal Government is America's largest employer, with more than 2 million civilian workers and 1.4 million active duty military who serve in all 50 States and around the world. But Congress has failed to meet its responsibility to pass a budget before the fiscal year that begins today. And that means much of our Government must shut down effective today. I want you to know that I will keep working to get Congress to reopen the Government, restart vital services that the American people depend on, and allow public servants who have been sent home to return to work. At my direction, your agencies should have reached out to you by now about what a shutdown means for you and your families," Obama wrote in the statement. "This shutdown was completely preventable. It should not have happened. And the House of Representatives can end it as soon as it follows the Senate's lead, and funds your work in the United States Government without trying to attach highly controversial and partisan measures in the process."

Don’t know what disgusts me more, a lying president or the gullible, ignorant, or willing accomplices who believe him. That includes the news media.
think about how screwed the huge numbers of hispanics that voted for him feel right now. he promised to pass amnesty. notice how that has absolutely vanished into thin air?
Mr. Obama did not say he would "Keep working WITH congress" to reach a deal.
He said: I want you to know that I will keep working to get Congress to reopen the Government...
He said nothing about working WITH anyone. In fact, I venture to say he does not know how to work WITH anyone.
I think we've isolated the problem!
Keep working with...
Bwa ha ha ha ha....
Does anyone believe this lunk any longer?
Wow. What a sociopath.
Don’t know where you’re getting your info from, all essential workers who were not furloughed and those who went back to work today, myself included, will not be receiving a paycheck until this issue is resolved. Once this is resolved we will receive back pay for the days we worked.
summoning, demanding, refusing to negotiate ...
Yeah, “working with Congress” ........ POS!
Obama just can’t stop telling lies. It is just part of his evil being.
